Lago Eight years of silence have done nothing to soften Lago. The Phoenix, Arizona death metal outfit returns withVigil, a dense, suffocating, and surgically cold new full-length that pushes their bleak atmosphere into sharper, more punishing territory.

Where they from?New York, NY. My pick of the Lightning beating the Stars in the NHL Stanley Cub finals is blown after the first round. I am like reverse-Nostradamus — everything I pick turns out false. I should pick stocks for people and they just do the opposite of whatever I say. Why the hype?Oh

Two years since we last checked in with them, Denver deathcore outfitMind Incisionare back with a new single, “Y.W.A. War.” It’s a real bruiser of a track, representing the heavier and nastier side of modern deathcore and metalcore. There are even hints of nü metal in the rhythm section and vocal delivery. The new song,

The music, however, is solid on new single, “Divine Slaughter (Backyard Barbecue Bonanza),” which we’re premiering here for you today. The track, taken from upcoming full-length,Valley of the

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Chicago sludge crewLair of the Minotaur—the band’s last EP was in 2018 and their last proper album was in 2010—but they’re making good on lost time withI Hail I, their new and fifth album since forming in 2003.

The men and women of Jackass have done some insanely dumb things. Countless things involving butts and balls and bears (the animal kind) that result in bodily harm for people’s enjoyment have made up the Jackass formula for decades.

This past Friday was a dream that so many of us probably wish we could’ve experienced in real time. The lucky sons-o’-bitches who were at Queens of the Stone Age‘s set on April 24 at the Joshua Tree Retreat center in Joshua Tree, CA got a fucking treat, because they brought out Nick Oliveri on
